🎯 Tips for a balanced class schedule: A smooth start to freshman life
Good planning is the start of success, and the same goes for your class schedule. Try using these techniques:
- Prioritize: Always register for compulsory and core major subjects first. Then, choose elective courses that interest you to fill out your schedule.
- Create breathing room: Don’t pack your schedule too tight! You should have time for lunch, activities, or reviewing lessons during the day. Having one “free day” also helps you work a part-time job more effectively.
- Calculate travel time: SPU students need to know this! Whether you’re traveling by BTS (get off at Bang Bua Station) or by private car, allow extra travel time so you aren’t late for class.
